  1. Actively Reviewed, unfortunately means the opposite most of the times. You can file WoM yourself if you wish, but it's not the easiest thing to pull off. Here's instruction: The filing fees are just over $400. If you file with a lawyer this means paying about $5000 in legal fees on top.
  2. Well, I'd send the original lease agreement listing you and your wife. When I had lease, it was for 1 year, then month to month. There were no documents every year for it, but since we still lived there, there was nothing else to include. I only included original lease which was still in effect. Got approved.
  3. Field office? 3 or 5 year rule?
  4. I agree with @nastra30 She's not eligible to naturalize through you until sometime 2025. At that point, if not urgent, she can probably wait until 2026 and apply under 5 year rule, which requires much less evidence, and is in general easier to review and approve.
  5. If outside processing times, Writ of Mandamus is your friend.
  6. Sorry I missed that part and deleted my message after re-reading. I'd think you don't have to pay state taxes unless you live in the state? This may be a question for CPA.
  7. Majority of I-751 don't require the interview, as long as you submit enough of good marital evidence. Questions: - how are you going to maintain your LPR status? Are you going to file a reentry permit? - where are you going to receive correspondence from USCIS? Do you have a stable mailing address? Interviews usually happen within 12-24 months of filing.
  8. WoM is the solution that works most of the time.
  9. I can see how previously approved I-129F can result in blazing fast approval for I-130. Relationship is already proven. But I-485 can take much longer due to background checks, figuring out admissability, etc.
  10. You cannot surrender what you don't have. However, if you have 2 year conditional GC at the time of oath, you should surrender it. I'd say short skirts aren't the best things to wear to an official event. Options: rent some clothes or wear a long dress that's more or less formal looking.
  11. This is very optimistic. What's the processing times now? On average it takes a year from filing I think.
  12. Active review is typically a filler status when not much is happening
  13. Congrats! - which service center? - any RFEs? - did you have interview? - joint or divorce case?
  14. There's nothing fishy. My US spouse has to go through different line a lot of the times when we travel around the world. It's pretty normal. OP will be entering the US in foreigner line, whereas gf will be entering through US citizen line.
  15. Make sure he doesn't have to go through immigration in any other countries on the way to Nepal. Some countries require 6 month validity for passport to enter!
  16. Nobody will allow him on a plane without valid passport. Talk to Nepalese friends, groups online to see how people renew their passports. It's essential to renew it for international travel.
  17. Glad to see my timeline estimate was somewhat accurate. Congrats on extension letter! Make as digital copies of letter and GC just in case. Good luck!
  18. 3 or 5 year rule? Do you have I-751 pending / approved / didn't have one?
  19. Technically, you can only breath freely after oath and naturalization certificate in hand
  20. Sometimes I-751 is stuck on some irrelevant status even after naturalization. Many officer don't bother clicking the forms to update online status for it.
  21. I'd say if OP is admitted back, they should stay put and don't travel internationally until naturalized.
  22. 4 days and 1 month if you want to be bulletproof and don't spend money on lawyers etc
  23. You should count 4 years and 1 day since you came back from your last trip that laster over 6 months.
  24. Yes it is. USCIS # (Alien Number) is mandatory. USCIS account is optional
